Team Overview
The New Orleans Saints start a new era with head coach Kellen Moore. After a disappointing 5-12 campaign, the front office brought in reinforcements including safety Justin Reid, wideout Brandin Cooks, and running back Cam Akers. The roster is in transition, but the NFC South gives them opportunities.
Offensive Line Analysis
The Saints signed Dillon Radunz to improve pass protection, but overall stability on the line remains a concern.
Defensive Line Analysis
New Orleans added veteran Davon Godchaux to strengthen the interior. However, depth issues linger, especially at defensive end.
Week 1 – vs. Arizona Cardinals

Key Moments & Injuries
Disciplinary mistakes and special teams miscues stalled multiple drives. Jordan’s pressure was one of the few bright spots, while Kamara’s touchdown marked a notable franchise milestone. No major injuries were reported.
